look down the street
when our eyes meet
I just turn away
burn away my happiness
lost everything that meant something
what used to be so good
what used to be so gifted
stare into the streetlights
a chemical reaction burning up my insides
images caught by a blindness half forgiven
everything that really mattered
turned into shame
a substance seeping into veins
frustration building up inside
release every ounce of pain
every sensation crawling
through the darkness
secrets locked in time
everything that mattered
misjudged my capability
misjudged my security
try to push them away
try to hide the pressure building
are you the only one
who can understand?
are you the only one
that mattered?
run away into the sky
can I get past these years
pray everyday to meet again
all the voices calling me in disguise
claim a new meaning
trust in the future
one last way
trust in the future
before everything takes over
break through the mirror
and look out for September
etching away my sickness
etching through my capability
every illusion that really mattered
when every day aches to be true
break that last stone
and believe again
all the colors broken up and down
fall through the bridges
when time was just a reaction
Shattered Mind
